DANGEROUS TREATMENTS

by

If the man collapses and dies in consequence of this searching treatment, one need not be surprised. The strain involved upon the organs by such a treatment is terrific. In consequence, the Evening Standard will be responsible for innumerable cases of avoidable disease and death.

THE Evening Standard of December 10th published in the columns, “The Londoners Diary,” a little piece worded as follows:

FALSTAFF INTO CASSIUS.

“Several London doctors are achieving remarkable successes in weight reduction by means of glandular injections.

“The most remarkable case of which I have heard is that of a West Indian magnate. He came over here weighing over 22 stone. He is now a modest 12.

“After treatment he had so much loose skin under his chin that he had to go to Paris to have his face lifted.

“The result was been startling. The former fat man has recovered his good looks”.

Having read it, addressed the following letter to the Editor:-

“DEAR SIR, – In The Londoners Diary of yesterday, there was an item, Falstaff into Cassius, which I enclose. I am sure every experienced doctor, and every man of common sense, would condemn treatment whereby an individual of 22 stone was reduced, apparently rapidly, to 12 stone by glandular injections. If the man collapses and dies in consequence of this searching treatment, one need not be surprised. The strain involved upon the organs by such a treatment is terrific.

“Unfortunately, I find every few days in “The Londoners Diary, which I read with the greatest appreciation, similar miracle cures produced by the latest and most scientific treatment, which means by the most dangerous and most untested treatment, and I am afraid that many of your readers will rush to their doctors, Evening Standard in hand, and will demand the same treatment. In consequence, the Evening Standard will be responsible for innumerable cases of avoidable disease and death.

“I hope you will allow me to point out this danger, for I speak with experience.

“I am,

“Very truly yours,

“Ellis Barker J.
